GMail Confusion...

I have my incoming mail sorted so the newest stuff is at
the top. No big deal. Most mail programs in the last ten
years have let you sort ascending or descending by date.

Now, if an email comes in that's part of a threaded
discussion, the web interface to GMail puts the thread
as the first thing in the mailbox, but then shows the
thread with the oldest message in the thread at the top.
The net result to me is that I printed out four drawings
that I thought were brand spankin' new that I had really
printed out two or three weeks ago.
